James Carroll, author of the award-winning, bestselling Constantine's Sword , tells the richly layered story of the city of Jerusalem and its extraordinary impact on human history and contemporary conflict. He shows how the seemingly never-ending conflicts within this city that is holy to Muslims, Christians, and Jews underscore an important point of history: religion and violence fuel each other. Daily life in Jerusalem is a microcosm of division and dispute, rivalry and tribalism as a myriad of groups and belief systems are pitted against each other: ultra-Orthodox Jews and secular Jews; Israelis and Palestinians; Jews and Arabs; Muslims and Christians; Hamas jihadists and Fatah bureaucrats; Russian immigrant Israelis and native-born Israelis; Latin Catholics and Greek Orthodox; and, overall, modernity and tradition. Jerusalem, Jerusalem is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the current disharmony of modern-day Jerusalem and its historical underpinnings. To the standard set by Constantine's Sword , Jerusalem, Jerusalem is again a 'rare book that combines searing passion ...with a subject that has affected all our lives'. ( Chicago Tribune ).
